Yeah, I haven't gotten around to doing a Ryan Jean Dedication Page. A part of me would like to, but another part of me feels like I'd be opening up Pandora's Box in doing so. There are at least 3 other players that I think deserve one, at least one of whom deserves one over Jean (QB Jamie Manning from 2016-2018), so I left it alone.
Reggie Moore deserves his own special place because a.) he was really our first "big name" signing, b.) he is our only Heisman winner and c.) he's the player that best represents our ascension to the SEC and national prominence. He's the player that sort of ushered Tulane into the national scene and he's still to this day, at least in my eyes, the face of Coach Geezy's 15-year tenure.
As far Obi vs. Bryce - I think it would be very hard for me to sit a 94 overall rated senior in favor of a 75 overall junior. You know I hate bringing video game talk into this dynasty report and try to avoid it as much as possible, but the ratings grades show that Allen is just by far the superior player. When he's healthy, he's going back in. That said, Obi may play himself into some sub-package work if he keeps this up and right now may even be auditioning for the starting job next season.
As I mentioned above, I think it would be difficult to sit Allen. At this point though, I just hope to one day have that option - Allen is listed as doubtful for the second straight week and I have already vowed not to play him until he's fully healed and off the injury report. We could be looking at another week, two weeks, or possibly longer. To answer your curiosity - Allen is 28-7 as a starter and Obi is 5-2 as a starter; so there's really not enough sample size there, though Allen does lead in terms of winning percentage.
Michael Brown Jr. has been money. The guy really does catch EVERYTHING, whether it is out of the backfield or from the slot position. He's just absolutely tailor-made for our offense. I'd even go as far as to say that his hands are even better than Reggie Moore's back in the day. He currently has a team-leading 35 receptions for 414 yards and 2 touchdowns.
Blue chip true freshman OLB Sean Williamson is currently 6th on the team with 29 tackles, along with 10 TFLs and is tied with fellow blue chipper, sophomore DE T.J. Pearson, for the team lead with 5 sacks. We use Williamson all over - OLB in most 3-4 formations, DE in a couple of 3-4 formations, and DE in most nickel and dime sets. I think when all is said and done, he will surpass our boy Mark Richards as the best linebacker this dynasty has ever seen.
Regarding Kentucky - every once in a while, you get reminded not to ever take a game for granted, and that moment for me most recently came against Auburn. I am trying to make sure I stay focused on the task at hand before turning the page to next week's Tidal Wave Party and Deuce's revenge. However, you already know that my mind has been churning for months now on how Deuce Monroe week may play out. You can't help but get excited for that matchup and all the implications it will have. I even have some extra Alabama band custom sounds downloaded into the game to add to the Tuscaloosa atmosphere. The game is gonna be epic.
